Our community partner is Lynchburg Sheltered Industries

Our project will be a part of a design competition through NISH
The National Scholar Award for Workplace Innovation & Design was founded by NISH to encourage the development of creative technological solutions for barriers that prevent people with disabilities from entering or advancing in the workplace.  The National Scholar Award is open to any college student or student team at the graduate or undergraduate level.  The National Scholar Award program is a great service learning opportunity for engineering, computer science, industrial design, physical therapy and occupational therapy students.
